. I give them to a charity shop.
I've even read stories of them over heating and catching fire!

i'm not good with smelly things.
My windows are open all day, weather permitting and the bedroom windows are open all day and night too, no matter what the weather. I much prefer the smell of fresh air to chemical induced air freshners or risky perfumed candles.

I agree Annie. There is much evidence to say those other smellies can be harmful.
Another thing I hate is the smell of those so called 'Air fresheners' people hang in their cars. I can't bear them.
I find it really sickly being shut in a small area like a car, with one of those things hanging in front of my face..
They always put one of the darn things in when they service my car and I stick it straight in the bin and leave me windows open for a while.
I've got a nose like a dog when it comes to smells.

Previously, I had liked quality incense sticks but can't use them anymore as they set off my connected smoke alarm system and it beeps everywhere, my living room, upstairs etc.
I'm sure natural flowers would be a better option but they are so expensive; I don't have a garden, either.

Re: Plug-in air fresheners
Anything artificial with chemicals in it, makes me sick, I get a migraine. Maybe the things we think are making an odour, is only just us worrying about it too much.Way back when......we never had these sprays and we were just fine. Nobody complained about whether the house had an odour or not.
